Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cassin's Flycatcher sighting in Queen Elizabeth National Park on a given day, based on 46 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 258th most-seen of the 434 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Cassin's Flycatcher in Queen Elizabeth National Park on a given day, against under 5% in September to June, the lowest months. Those are among Queen Elizabeth National Park's driest months, with about 40 mm of rain a month against 150 mm in April.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cassin's Flycatcher sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 6
Of the 6 parks where we can rate Cassin's Flycatcher sightings, Queen Elizabeth National Park ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Taï National Park (Ivory Coast, about 20%), Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (Uganda, about 10%) and Kibale National Park (Uganda, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cassin's Flycatcher is recorded against all the birds logged in Queen Elizabeth National Park (46 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
